yep, finally got my hands on painter. just trying to learn my way around it, so i opened this image of Micke's i had laying around and went off...i think the result is pretty good, but you be the judge:

dont get all pissy. if you want reply's, saying that you're through with the forum wont help.

anyway, i think it's generally good. you've chosen nice colors and added some interesting texture. the only thing i would suggest is doing *more* with the color. considering most of the work in this piece is micke's sketch, it's hard to judge anything past that. too much black from the original.
